    Hey guys,
    We wanted to test the new Toxic broadheads from Flying Arrow Archery on a boar's hide and compare it to a more traditional fixed-blade broadhead and a retractable broadhead. We shot each broadhead and compared the entry and exit wounds. We think the Toxic broadhead did the best followed by the fixed-blade broadhead. I've attached the video of our review that shows the damage each tip did so yall can decide for yourselves.

    Nice man! I've been thinking about giving these broadheads a try, but I'm a little worried about reshootablity. My G5 Montec CS have been used multiple times on deer and all I had to do was take a few min to sharpen them. Does the Toxic come with extra blades or do you have to buy those?

    Yeah I would imagine trying to sharpen them would be tricky. You would have to buy extra blades. I'm interested to see how long they will stay sharp though.

    A friend of mine killed a buck this year that had a toxic head stuck in his shoulder. It didn't penetrate well at all....granted it was a shoulder hit, but it barely penetrated the bone

    I shot a doe two seasons ago at 17 yards with a Toxic. Granted it was a perfect shot through the lungs and center punched the heart, the blood trail was TERRIBLE! I watched her die in sight as she only went about 30 yards... I was less then impressed with the blood trail though.
